Is one of your resolutions for 2005 seeking to grow your credit union? Are you looking for ways to open doors at SEGs, leverage a community charter, or just better penetrate the membership you already have?
If those are more than just resolutions and are indeed a job requirement, then resolve now to attend the finest conference of its kind, The Credit Union Journal's SEG & Business Development Conference. With the agenda now complete, the meeting is set to be held
March 31-April 1 at the Renaissance Orlando Resort at SeaWorld.
One of the primary reasons for the meeting's annual success and year-to-year growth is that the agenda is based upon recommendations from credit union executives themselves, and this year's event certainly reflects The Journal's commitment to doing just that. The more than one-dozen presentations that will be made are based on previous attendees' feedback and suggestions, and cover a range of exciting and fresh ideas for growing new membership and further penetrating current membership.
As always, the meeting will draw upon the expertise of both analysts-who will share insights gleaned from working with multiple credit unions-and credit union executives themselves, who will share their own in-the-trenches success stories and strategies. The meeting will again include the popular Big First Day Q&A, in which day one presenters return to the stage for a full hour of questions and commentary.
More information on the conference is available by clicking on the SEG & Business Development button on The Journal's website at www.cujournal.com. Below is a brief overview of the agenda.
